Stereo analysis
AnalyzedVerdict
Genuine stereo pair90%
The two photographs contain the viewpoint difference needed to produce genuine depth.
- Depth spread
- 3px
- The range of horizontal difference between the two views. More spread generally means more depth; 0–1 px usually indicates a monoview.
- Match
- 94%
- The share of usable picture detail that can be matched between the left and right views. A higher number means a more reliable comparison.
- Vertical
- 3px
- Vertical drift between matched details. Lower is better; 4 px or more can indicate camera movement, scan skew, or poor alignment.
Nine African American children pose closely together before a rough board fence, one seated in the foreground and eight standing behind and beside him. Striped dresses, a checked fringed shawl, jackets, and several hats distinguish the figures. The central child stands barefoot; a child in the back row wears a markedly frayed straw hat. Two arched-top photographs are mounted side by side on yellow card.
The printed caption reads “No. 54. School Children.” The mount identifies the location as “Jacksonville, Florida.” and the issue as “The Southern Series.” Its imprints credit C. Seaver, Jr., as photographer and Chas. Pollock of Boston, Massachusetts, as publisher.
The caption identifies the group as schoolchildren but names neither the school nor any individual. The card is undated. Its unprinted reverse carries unidentified ink initials and a pencil notation appearing to read “REB24”; neither supplies a further identification or repeats the printed view number.
The reverse has two areas of old label or adhesive residue, with paper remnants and localized surface disturbance. The photographs are otherwise clean and the card appears sound.
